BRBA: Bring ROME Back Again!!!!!!!!

Get it right, it's not Fascist!

@RT_com Arabs: The Stormtroopers of the world.

SHOTGUN VS DRONE: KUWAITI MAKES FAILED ATTEMPT ON LOW-FLYING TARGET

@GeoRebekah Yeah but one fucks and the other doesn't. Don't over think men.

Men think this is an improvement. MacKenzie Scott, Princeton graduate, writing novels at age six, studied under Toni Morrison, founded Amazon, and one of the biggest philanthropists in the history of humanity. Versus.. whatever the fuck this is.

Ottoman Empire was defunct by 1700. It was a family mafia system that brought NOTHING to the lands it captured, and ironically---brought nothing to the Turks. It's systems were antiquated, methods barbaric, national goals non-existent. It was the "Saudis" minus the oil. An abomination.

The Ottoman Empire didn’t decline per se, rather, it was the Western powers that surged ahead by making a huge leap forward that, not only Ottomans, but no non-Western power was able to catch up with before the last century.

@erikfinman Kick the door and the whole rotten building will crumble, once said a man....something about Barbarossa I think.

We took Afghanistan with a few special forces guys and airborne. The Iranian people love us. It won’t be hard to conduct ground operations in Iran. Kick in the door. Arm the protestors.

@YourPrimePath Only a needy muppet would try to find solace and comfort in the embrace of a woman. Real men strive for the Glory of Rome!

Getting married sounds stupid as fuck until you see a single man in his 60s Go home alone, read a book, only one light on in the house, no goofy kids visiting for the holidays Suddenly a dumb argument with a pleasantly plump aging wife twice a week doesn't seem so bad

@tws4042 @WarlordDilley @clarissamehler Said Winston after the sea battle of Gallipoli....

@WarlordDilley @clarissamehler My English heart swells with pride for you! My only criticism is you’re not going in hard enough….theres too much dithering & talking…. Get on with it!

Am I the only one who enjoys seeing our military kick the shit out of Iran? I will never forget the video during the Obama years of our sailors on their knees being captured by these terrorists. My American heart swells with pride with each IRGC kill that is confirmed.

Not enough is said about how much of a serious fucking anthem this is

The greatest story ever started with a teat of milk.

@Rich_Cooper She is mixing up the PUA culture with Red Pill philosophy. Although they overlap, not necessarily same thing. If the dude's she rolled with were sufficiently "Chad" enough she wouldn't be posting vids. Make rules for some break rules for others.

When annoying man hating women try to hook up with socially awkward men, this happens...

@nonregemesse IF you limit it to swords alone, you disadvantaged the Samuria since sword was not their primary weapon. Knight would win. Better armor.

Who would win a hypothetical duel between a 15th century Samurai and a 15th century European knight? Both men are armed with a sword. 15世紀の侍と15世紀のヨーロッパの騎士が、もし仮想の決闘を行ったとしたら、どちらが勝つでしょうか？ 両者とも、武器として剣を装備しているものとします。

@FreckledLiberty Hmmmm, let me think...

men, is this true? 👀

@Rothmus Just move faster like Genghis Khan

How it started VS how it's going.

@GigaBasedDad Not sure what the problem is: If there is one thing Europe loves, it's war.

The two World Wars broke Europe

@MedievalScholar Yet unable to create anything meaningful. Yes he conquered ton of land, but it all collapsed with his death.

Not medieval but I have to chime in for this. It’s Alexander. Napoleon and Caesar are better than Genghis Khan and they LARPed and studied Alexander. Never lost a battle and conquered much of the known world

@AGDugin US is Stage III Rome: An incompetent and impotent senate, influence and leadership open to influence, an over emphasis on military grandiosity, failing domestic systems, declining quality of life, corruption going to hyperdrive.

The U.S. isn’t Rome. It is new Carthage. That is basic geopolitical truth acknowledged by all scholars.

@realAtlasPress Let me break it down MoFo's: 1. Rome was started by rejects and orphans 2. No one faced the adversaries Rome Faced 3. No one had colossal losses like Rome did 4. Rome respected honor, manliness, dignity 5. Rome built muthaeffen systems! No one did it like Rome!

"Rome could not have risen to such power if it had not, in some way, had a divine origin—one that offered, in the eyes of men, something great and inexplicable." Plutarch, Life of Romulus (I, 8)

@SGusin42280 @bvrakvs Very astute observation: What did the Greeks in was their anti-universalist racism: their inability to get along with anyone, including themselves and refusing to adopt anything "barbarian" until of course the Manipular Legions show up at your door :)

@bvrakvs @Bring_Rome_Back Unfortunately, Athenian democracy couldn't see beyond its own nose, which roughly coincided with the boundaries of the polis. I love the Greeks, but they were often very short-sighted (and we?) Perhaps the Achaean League would have shown better results, but then Rome ate them.

Worshipping Sparta as the pinnacle of martial ethos is a mistake, for martial excellence comes not only from brawn but also from brains, not only tactical but also strategical. Sparta had the best training, a very harsh regimen (agoge), creating the best disciplined and iron like military men, probably the highest quality soldiers in the world at their height. But this was reserved only for the Spartiates, the full citizens of the polis, who amounted to only a couple thousand men during most of its history. They were very slow to grow their population and manpower, and acceptance of foreigners into citizenship was extremely rare, so any loss of Spartan citizens in battle was irreplaceable; a massive strategic weakness: oliganthropia. Knowing this weakness, Spartans often exploited their martial fame for psychological warfare, forcing indecision and surrenders merely by their presence on the battlefield, sometimes without even engaging the enemy. The whole laconic mindset, speaking and acting from a position of complete dominance, was integral to this approach. All surviving written sources reflect this awed perspective of non-Spartans. When Sparta acted cautiously, arrived very late (perhaps to evade battle altogether), used religious festivals or periods as excuses to avoid fighting, or like in the Persian War, refused to leave the Peloponnese, building a defensive perimeter instead of upholding the joint defensive posture with the Athenians, they always invoked dominance and piety, never admitting their cautious near cowardice, to preserve the laconic facade. Their complete strategical failure is clear in the Battle of Sphacteria during the Peloponnesian War, where 120 promising Spartiates were captured. Though the number seems small, losing that many core citizens was catastrophic, cowering Sparta into near total surrender and inactivity under Athenian pressure, shocking the entire Greek world. So in summary, Sparta’s production of the highest quality military men is only half the story. They were tactically near invincible for a long time, but without strategic foresight, without expanding their numbers and improving their position by adapting, they were doomed in the end. Yet their legend persists, hopefully not just as mindless hype, but also as a cautionary tale: to never rest on your laurels, and to keep adapting even while at the top.
